minus-squareundrwater@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up4·1 day agoYes. Gentoo on an arm Chromebook. Plasma. Runs fairly well. Battery lasts forever.
minus-squareviov@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 hour agoWhoa that’s awesome! Have any guides? Also how is Gentoo on Chromebook for gaming?
minus-squareundrwater@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·32 minutes agoI just followed the handbook honestly. There’s one for ARM devices, but it’s not really necessary. It took a LONG time to compile everything, so I don’t recommend it to those wanting a simple solution. As for gaming? Who knows. We use the device for quick looking up of info, recipes (it stays in the kitchen), email, maybe a document or two. Not sure how much power the Mali GPU has.
